Within 15 working days. I received my WE invite after 14 working days
PWC vi invite; anyone know what type of questions they ask??? First time applying to Big 4, thought I screwed up their shl test
How long did you guys wait post app?
It’s been 2 weeks for me so I’m assuming it’s a PFO now 😭
I applied for the summer scheme and they will send out written assessments after the deadline
Tip would be don't answer honestly, answer with what you think the firm wants. For instance, do I prefer working to clear, defined and stable deadlines, or continually changing, tight deadlines? Well, certainly the former, but that's not the answer they want!Find SJT quite tricky - did FF stage 1 and got rejected.
Usually I am ok (average-ish) with wg and it seems to be the SJT that is problematic.
I understand from the sense that you have to be honest with yourself but it does seem a bit frustrating when you don't seem to be the right 'personality'.
Any insights or tips with these situations? Thanks
It's usually pretty apparent from the 5 potential responses to rank which 2 will be considered the 'right' answers.
How many years do we think before firms realise the Cappfinity SJTs are a waste of everyone's time and scrap them?
I heard back on the 15th working day post app. So you shouldn't assume pfo tbh.
Hi guys,
I hope all is well! I'm currently going through the Taylor Wessing application form, and I had one small query about the section where we're supposed to enter our university module results. As ever, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be hugely grateful!
Basically, candidates are asked to give a "letter grade", and a "number grade" for each module. The letter grade part is pretty obvious (you put down whether you've got a First, a 2.1, etc in that module), but I'm wondering what to put down under the "number grade" section! The problem here stems from the fact that my university gives marks out of 200 (not 100) for each module - for instance, if I got 70% in a particular module, then I received 140 marks out of 200. The problem is that the "number grade" box doesn't let candidates write down "140/200" (because the slash symbol isn't a number), nor does it let candidates enter, say, "70%" (because the percentage sign isn't a number).
At the moment, I'm planning on just writing down the score out of 200 I got (e.g. if I got 70%, just writing down "140"), as any potential confusion should be obviated by the fact that (a) I'm able to specify whether I got a First or a 2.1 for each module, and (b) because the application form allows me to attach a CV, which enables me to clarify that the university module marks are out of 200. Basically, I'm hoping that, when the application form asks me to type in a "number grade", it's not necessarily asking me to give my results as a percentage out of 100!
Does this sound like the right thing to do?

I got a Simmons AC but I think I'm going crazy because they didn't put a date 😐
Just show up on a random day
